It is with great sadness that we share that a member of our UAB family has passed away. Professor Ollie Powers died on December 3, 2012. Ollie was one of the first instructors at the UAB School of Business when it opened in 1971, and he became a full-time professor in 1976. He was beloved by his students, colleagues and the accounting community and was an inspiration to everyone he met. He will be greatly missed.
